Hi, Mike, & Everyone, I am one of the people who sometimes asks people to
make a PBS donation for certain seeds.. Many of us swap seeds privately,
but often they are from quantities too small to share with the BX..
Swapping further contributes to the greater goal of geophite conservation
as a hobby & at an environmental level.. I have swapped various things
privately & as they produce seeds, the BX will benefit.. So no one looses :
) Some recalcitrant seeds like Calostema or some crinums from here in
Australia or far away from Dell, sprout too fast for Dell to process for
you all..
I'm in Australia & I have had no trouble receiving goodies from Del, i
often see the message come early in the morning, but when lower numbers of
seeds are donated, naturally many of us miss out, but only sharing & BX-
ing over time can give us some of the rare treasures we dream of growing !!!
So be pacient, the BX is a wonderful game of chance, luck & timing, so
enjoy it & be thankful that some people have enough seeds to contribute, &
do so because they care, take note of the sharer & say hello if you missed
out on a special treasure the last few times & maybe they might save you
one next season :)
